Da Blogs Da Thang: thoughts I may not have shared # 1

thoughts I may not have shared # 1

Published Monday, April 03, 2006 by lecram sinun | E-mail this post

These are thoughts that may or may not have any validity to any one but me. Thoughts that may have emerged fleeting, half-baked, or not fully realized for rational discussion. Thoughts that may be obtuse, idiotic and hints at me straddling the edge of insanity or extreme stupidity. Thoughts... just thoughts.

Thought #1: Faces tell so much about the person.

Looking at faces I see the nature of the person who wears it. The cover does clue in on the content of the book. It's not about the physical - yet, all about it. The face reveals the heart, soul and desires of the person who owns it. Through the face I get a sense of their past - hurts, joys, and triumphts that rule their present. Even through physical beauty their levels of pettiness, or compassion shines through. The photograph may only capture an instant of this ever evolving mirror to the individual... so, it denies us the "big picture." It is the physical experience of the face within a short amount of time that one can experience the "wholeness" of the person. What drives them... what motivates them... what they want or need... what turns them on or off... what makes them... them. It is the face that we first come into contact with. It is the face that attracts or repels ... that ultimately provides insight about who we are and what we are looking for... what we choose to see or turn a blind eye to.

I worry sometimes, because my face is so expressive.

For you "eye people"... I agree that the eyes betray... but in my experience, it's the total package with the face that reveals. :)

I do love to look at pictures of faces - makes you wonder what they are about. But I'm no good at reading them. Because I had to take some speech lessons when I was 5 yrs old, I've always watched people's mouths when they talk. When I look at their eyes, I forget to listen to what they're saying!
I'm new to your blog. Do you have a picture of your face anywhere? You've aroused my curiosity.
